maybe when you go to a marathon now as when i went to a 5k this weekend, they say don't carry a backpack. something that simple. in we're talking about fixing this and we'll hear a lot about this to what you were saying before when the budget talks are very contentious, how do you spend money, there are also huge concerns about privacy every time we come into issues like this. lawmakers can't seem to agree on anything not even when 90% of the people say yes to background checks. they can't agree on it. how does anything get done here. >> i think on an issue like this on national security, lawmakers do tend to react more quickly to that. homeland security department was created quickly in 2003 and 2004. the key thing is we're in a bit of a fog right now. hard to know what solutions are in part because you can see congressman king himself who is being briefed all the time doesn't know exactly what happened and how many times the fbi was briefed, how many times the fbi investigated the older brother. we don't know a lot right now. until then we don't know what the solutions are and what con

they are walking down the streets with the backpacks like they don't have a care in the world. >> that's exactly right. they went into a panic or a manic state. it was a mission state. they went out and what purpose would their panic state be to kill an mit police officer. that gained nothing. that's part of the mission to plant another pressure cooker device somewhere in the city does not help their escape either. that's part of the mission. clint is right. when they saw it on there, they went into a manic or a panic state. what are we going to do now? i doubt that pressure cooker bomb was made after their picture was put up. that pressure cooker bomb that is found last night was already made. that was made before. the bombs they had strapped on the brother's chest and they through t to police were probably already made for later bombing campaigns. they gathered all the gear and all the stuff, guns, bombs, and they wanted to get money like another car and shoot the officer and drop the conspirator, if that's true. maybe leave a bomb at the amtrak station. one of the interesting things i
